Current Unit: Unit 1a Geometric Transformations
Unit Standards: MCC8.G1, MCC8.G2, MCC8.G3
Crosswalk COACH Connection: Lesson 24
*********************************************************************************
This week in math, we will continue to study Geometric Transformations. We will focus on translations on Monday and Tuesday. Students will continue to explore translations and learn how to write and interpret translations in general form (algebraic) from a graph or a set of ordered pairs.
Monday:
-- Translations Exploration (continue from Friday)
-- Writing / Reading translations in general form
*HW - Translations Practice worksheet
Tuesday:
-- Translations matching (group activity)
*HW - Coordinating Translations Task
Wednesday:
-- Translations Quiz
Thursday:
-- Review Translations Quiz
-- Rotations Exploration
*HW: Rotations Practice worksheet
Friday:
Coordinating Rotations Task
To be successful in this unit, it is important that students know the terms. They need to study them on a nightly basis until they have mastered all of them. Other prerequisite skills include: understanding the coordinate plane, plotting and reading points on a coordinate graph and integer operations.
========================================================================
Advanced Math
The advanced math students are moving at a faster pace. As such, they finished exploring translations on Friday and will begin this week with rotations and move into reflections. The weekly outline is as follows:
Monday:
-- Rotations Explorations Task
*HW - Rotations Practice worksheet
Tuesday:
-- Rotations Exploration Task 2
(Rotating about a fixed point other than the origin / Rotating in 45 degree increments).
Wednesday:
-- Reflections Exploration Task
*HW - Reflecions Practice worksheet
Thursday:
-- Reflections Explorations Task - 2
(Reflecting over y = x)
Friday:
-- Rigid Transformations Review Activity
